how do i know if i have a uti?

Answer 1

the symptoms of a bladder infection are
1.burning when you pee
2.peeing more frequently every half hour or more
3. feeling like you have to pee even after you have just peed
4. blood in your pee
any one of these and you should see your doctor
More serious signs of a kidney infection are
1. fever
2 chills (shakes)
3 pain in your upper back at the sides
a kidney infection is an emergency.


to avoid badder infections
drink lots of fluid.
empty your bladder when you need to ( they sometimes occur after a long car ride when you can't go to the bathroom)
empty your bladder after sex

Answer 2

Sometimes it doesn't burn right away. But when you pee, you stand up and you have to immediately go again. This will eventually be followed by a burning sensation in your lower abdomen. Sometimes there can be a very faint tinge of blood on the tissue when you wipe (a very light pink if you attempt to push when you potty). Sometimes your lower abdomen can hurt even when you're not using the restroom. Also it can make your lower back hurt since a UTI can be found anywhere along the UTI from the kidney's on down. If you've used a new tampon or pad, especially a scented one, a UTI is a possibility. Also, sex can cause them because it can bring unfamiliar bacteria into the urethra. It's good practice to potty after sex so that those bacteria can be flushed on through. Anyway...I hope this helps you figure out whats ailing ya!

Answer 3

That really long answer is right. I also think that they have a test you can get at the drug store that's an over the counter thing. But if you have one, you'll need an antibiotic, so make an appointment with the doc.
